All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. ~ Edmund Burke

I write this post on May 2, 2011, the day after it was announced to the world that Osama Bin Laden was dead at the hands of U.S. Navy Seals. I have seen many reactions posted on Facebook about this monumental event. Most have been "thank yous" to our troops and general pride in America, but some have contained a tone of shame that we, as Americans, are celebrating today. Some have even compared us to the extremists that were dancing in the streets when the Twin Towers fell and 1000's of innocent lives were taken. There is a HUGE difference in celebrating the deaths of thousands of people who were attacked and killed in an unprovoked act designed to terrorize millions and celebration that the man who masterminded the plan to have 4 planes, also filled with innocent people, hijacked to crash into buildings for the purpose of making a statement is now dead. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. " On that clear day in September, 10 years ago, it felt like evil triumphed, and if we had sat back and done nothing, it would have. WE DID NOT! What happened yesterday is called justice, and I am proud of our troops and our Navy seals that put their lives on the line so that EVIL could be vanquished. We are celebrating the victory over wrong, that those good men and women did not sit idly by while our safety and freedom were threatened. They put themselves in harm's way and some gave the ultimate sacrifice to fight this evil of Terrorism. The fact that the supreme leader of this movement has fallen is something that we claim as victory is nothing to be ashamed of.
